A bill was also introduced iu the house to amend the state constitution so as to provide that "all" the moneys arising from the taxation of the polls and property of the white people for public schools shall be appropriated to the support of the public schools of the white race, and all the moneys arising from taxation of polls and property of the colored race for public schools shall be appropriated to :hn Hiinnort of tlm rmhlio schools of ri ~ ~ i? ? - tbe colored race."

IIIPSlEHJf UTTER. * WILLIAM HAS A WORD FOR UEORUIA FARMERS. ADY!SES THEM TO "HUSTLE" MORE I>l versification of Crops Is Sa(B?lled?A Facetious Drunim?r'? Monkey Story. Not long ago a one-horse farmer from the hack woods came to our town with two hales of cotton and sold it for 5 oents a pound. This was his entire crop, and he was complaining bitterly to one of our merchants aud said that tho farmers would perish todej.th in another year if there wasent some change for the better. A mischievous drummer, standing by, said: "Well, my friend, you must quit raising cotton or else buy some monkeys to pick it out. Over in India and Egypt they make the monkeys pick their cotton, and that is what's the matter. A monkey will pick a thousand pounds a day and he feeds on the seed. 80 it costs hardly anything over there to raise cotton, and our farmers in Mississippi and Texas have sent over for a hundred thousand monkeys, and they will be over here in time to pick the next crop and the price will go lower still, and if you don't got you a monkey or two you had better quit growing cotton, for you cau't compete with monkeys." The old man took it all in seriously and said: "Well, what in icn jrritr?. imiMir im h imiti riieii|>er, not much. Wo still pay the seme for cooking and washing and work in the garden. If anybody has a reason for complaining of hard times it. is the town people, who have everything to buy. The farmer who is not in debt and owns his farm is better off than he ever was and the prudent renter can pay rent and make money farming. Tint of course there is a large class of shiftless, unthrifty people who will not succeed at anything, and they blame everybody for it but themselves. Cobe says that the Lord had to make poor folks to keep rich folks in money, and so Cobe is contont in beirfg poor, for it is the Lord's will. I know folks who have never planted a fruit tree and who will not even plant a garden. Poverty makes soino folks shifty and others indifferent and despairing. There is an old negro woman cQmes to our houso every Saturday and brings ns a gallon of big hominy?old-fashioned lye hominy, and it is a luxury. We pay her 15 cents for it and she line seven other customers. One peck of corn that costs her 10 cents make; four pecks of hominy, for which she gets SI.20, and that makes her a good living. I read in the last Home and Farm about a successful experiment in growing ginseng, and if I was a farmer I would try it. This was in Ken tucky, whore a man planted it in n well-shaded forest of bench and dog wood and gum trees, and it grew hott from the seed and the roots that he planted and gave hiir. a good crop. Itf nut ttrioa iu ft! n tiniitbl T Irnrtu that it could bo grown in this mountainous region, among the foothills. 1 know a good farmer who makes monej growing turnips for their seed, and lu sells all his crop to Peter Henderson, of New York, and Peter sells it back to us at ">00 per cent profit. Anj smart, industrious woman could make money right here by growing rosef and hothouse plants. Our people send <>1T lots of money for such things and is n poor farmer to do if he liasent pot the money to buy the monkey?" "Grow something else," said the drummer. "Grow corn and wheat and sorghum and potfttoes. Plant apple and peach trees, raise chickens and eggs, and a yearlin calf or two to sell. Get up soon and stir around lively and make every member of your family work. Work at something, for if yen don't you will perish out. Go back home and take a new start. Don't sit down and grumble and blame somebody else with your poverty. Quit cotton until you can buy half a dozen monk' ys." The man went back home and circulated the monkey story, and for ten miles around the one-horse farmers have sworn off from raising any more cotton. That's what they tell me. Thev say that before tlie war the poor man eouhlent compete with the rich moil's niggers, ami now since he has lost his nippers he is imvin' monkeys to take their places, and the poor man won't have any chance at all. Of course there is no truth in this story. l>ut there is a pood ileal of philosophy. New methods, new plows and new machinery are the monkeys, and if the poor farmer does not work early and late he will keep poor T know some country women who make more money on their chickens and eggs and butter than their husbands do on their cotton anil wheat. Initio thinps well nursed count up more than hip ones. The thrifty farmer always brings with him something to sell when he has to come to tow n. Some fowls or epps o" potatoes or a sliote or some fruit in its season. There is a pood home market for all these little things. In fact, if we leave out cotton everything the farmer grows brings ahont the .same old prices of ten years apo, and everything he has to liny except coffee is much cheaper now than it was then. Everything that is made of cotton is 50 per cent cheaper and everything made of iron or steel or tin is 100 per cent cheaper. Beef and pork and chickens and turkeys and eggs and wood and potatoes and apples and peaches have not come down a nickel some of them are no account when they get here. Nobody around here has ever raised auy asparagus to sell, but they buy it iu Atlanta at 25 cents a bunch and bring it home, or they buy it canned from the grocer at 35 cents. A man in Marietta grows it by the aero for # Atlanta market and makes bi<r money. Why not grow it here? Shifty is the right word?we must he shifty if we would keep up with the progress of the times. Wit and wisdom are very noble qualities, but necessity is the mother of invention and eoutrivauce. We must get out of the old ruts and learn of our northern brethren. New England girls sit mound the lire every night and plait straw for hats and bonnets and baskets and chair bottoms, and they have a good time talking abont their neighbors and neighborhood news. Why shouhlent our girls leArn photography and have a gallery in every town? It is a beautiful art and peculiarly fitted for women ? pretty youug women who can talk their patrons into a pleasing expression and can pose the little children and arrange the young man's necktie so nicely.
